Sex and the Church

If this isn't holistic discipleship . . . I don't know what is. Seriously. I don't think a woman would ever come up with this idea.

GRAPEVINE, Tex. — And on the seventh day, there was no rest for married couples. A week after the Rev. Ed Young challenged husbands and wives among his flock of 20,000 to strengthen their unions through Seven Days of Sex, his advice was — keep it going.

"As for single people, “I don’t know, try eating chocolate cake,” he said."

Nice advice - another way the church helps singles (especially those previously married) to feel like second class citizens...this is one area of ministry where most churches are missing the mark.

And since when does sex = intimacy?

Lynda,

I agree . . . that comment was a cheap shot.

Totally misses the point of singleness in our culture. And, the importance of Jesus and Paul for the church.
